it his name was chuck chuck kasmeryk >> how would you describe him? was something very creepy. >> when he stared a you would like he could stare through. >> he seems like a tough military guy. >> there was a look about him. >> the cold stare. >> yeah. >> then kathy got a copy of the 9-1-1 call, and what you heard, it sounded like the verbal equivalent of 1000 yard stare. >> mr. mcclancy ex -- appears to be expired. >> i played the tape, i plated over and over, wrote down what was word for word. it didn't make sense, a couple of things. first he said he didn't touch the body, then he told the 9-1-1 operator when he asked about cpr, he said he didn't need it. he was already gone. if you didn't touch the body, how would you know he was gone? >> how do you go on after that when you are full of these dads and suspicions? >> you go on, you don't have a choice. but i knew i would not let it drop. >> in the end, even though chuck was questioned at length, everything he did put under a microscope, this is suspicion appeared to be unfounded. >> the corner actua

chuck?challenge we gave you to is show your piece and you did very well, show that climate has changed. life is already changing. you talked about that. i am curious. what shocked you while doing this piece? the thing that shocked me was learning we'd be surrendering land in arizona starting next year. what really shocked me are the u.s. government projections that are much starker. we talked to the bureau of reclamation on a regular basis and they are giving us we have a plan and there is money for this and a week ago they said the bottom line take lake powell a 1 in 3 chance of shutting down year after next. that is power to over 5 million americans. it is here. it is happening now. the cattle dying also in ranches in the west that is going to affect dinner tables across the east starting next year. >> it's a spiral. that is what people have to understand. thanks very much. terrific work. you can see a lot more of cal's wonderful reporting. when we debut season 3 of meet the press reports

welcome back. >> good to be with you, chuck. thank you. >> my first question, i'll cede to the speaker of the house. take a listen to what she said. >> where would you cut? child care? family medical leave paid for? universal pre-k? home health care, so important. >> i think that's what i hear a lot from democrats on capitol hill. it's like, we get it. we get what he's not for, but how do you get there. what should not be included? >> first of all, everything the speaker, which i have the greatest respect for, i've for and voted for. we spent $5.4 trillion and it continues into next year and we haven't disbursed it all. i said put a pause on it. we don't know where covid is going to go. inflation is still very high and rampant. on top of that, the geopolitical unrest we have going on. we might be challenged there. don't you think we ought to be prepared for that? since we don't have the emergency we have with the american rescue plan when the president first came in and we passed. >> let me ask you this: this is long-term infras

>> hello, chuck. we are prevented by law in state of florida from mandating vaccination for employees and or students. this is as a result of legislation passed in the last session. however, we are aggressively incentivizing vaccination of employees with $275 stipend. this community, frankly, vaccination levels is high compared to the rest of the state or country. about 98% of residents in miami-dade got at least one dose of the vaccine. over 88% two doses. as far as 12 and 17, over 85% of them vaccinated. more needs to be done. secondly, specific to the testing. yes, we have mobile units for vaccination and testing of employees and students. we're going to increase frequency of those services in the schools. i can tell you with more than two weeks into the school year, the positivity rate of miami-dade is lower than positivity rate in the community as large, which means the multi layer protective protocols in place are actually working. >> you have a mask mandate. you fought the state and you have yo

i do want to correct one thing, chuck. highest priority still is getting the unvaccinated vaccinated. there should be no confusion about that. the highest priority is not getting boosters. we think it's important to get boosters to people, but the overwhelming highest priority is to vaccinate the unvaccinated. >> now, you were saying, though, that it's not a luxury. explain why it's not a luxury. >> well, the reason is, if it turns out that the optimal way to get durable protection for people is to give them the first two doses and then several months later, be that six, seven, eight or whatever months later, you give them a booster, that might actually mature the immune response to have a much more durable response. i don't believe it's necessarily at all a luxury. it may ultimately turn out to be the proper regimen when we look back at it and say, looking back at this, what turned out to be the proper regimen. the reason we started with two doses, as you well know, chuck, we discussed it right here on the show, we were i

chuck todd is up next with "mtp daily." >>> welcome to "meet the press daily." i'm chuck todd. we'll take you live to the pentagon where we expect to hear defense secretary lloyd austin and mark milley to deliver remarks about the end of the military mission in afghanistan and those gentlemen do have a lot of questions. the question is, how many questions will they take? all comes after president biden delivered both his decision to leave afghanistan and his administration's execution of the withdrawal. there are many questions, as i said at the top, that are left unanswered after the president's remarks that the pentagon might have to address. we'll see if they do.

chuck? >> steve patterson in sacramento. the last voter referring to the infamous fancy dinner, birthday dinner that the governor took at a time there was a ton of covid protocols that prevented most people from having dinners like the one he got to have at one of the most famous restaurants in the world. with that, steve patterson, thank you. let me bring in matt gorman and amy walker. this sad development that's taken place now where if you're a republican running for office, it is politically better to claim voter fraud for your loss than to admit defeat. i'll admit, there's part of me that's numb to this. i'm used to hearing it, it is so constant. but this dogs long term damage, does it not? >> i think let me step back for a second. what i keep coming back to is georgia, the senate runoff. you and i were talking a day or two before saying that base needed to turn out. if you talk to anyone involved, they would say base was discouraged, didn't think their vote would be counted. that was a senate race for control of the ch

chuck. >> i do expect the administration to.his is, i lost track of the number of times that president biden has promised more testing, more funding for testing, easier testing, at home, you name it. where is it? >> well, yesterday the president said is finally a more tangible step towards all of that because big companies like walmart, kroger and amazon are going to pitch in to at least have these be reduced and discount of about 35%. so they'll be sold at cost. starting this week, that is what they claim at least because, yes, just anecdotally those of us looking for the rapid at-home tests because you're getting back from a trip or check and make sure before you go see older parents or anyone else like that, they are hard to come by right now. if you go online to amazon and try to order them, they're weeks and weeks away and you can go to a cvs and sometimes they have them. the administration acknowledges that and all of our health experts like the esteemed ones you have on this panel have been saying for weeks there needs to

biden: chuck, thank you very much.s the old joke goes, my father would say thank you, and my mother would say, who are you talking about? [laughter] look folks, let me begin by saying i wish every american could walk down this alley with me to see and talk to the people who have been devastating, just talk to them. none of them were shouting or complaining. every one of them were thanking me as if it was something special, i mean this sincerely, that i was here, and hoped that we would be able to do something. this is america. where i am standing right now. these are the people, scranton, or anywhere around the world the country who built this country, and it is about time we step up. they are always the first ones her in the last ones that -- hurt in the last ones that are help. that will not happen this time. the group by me lead by chuck schumer and her -- your -- i want to thank her personally for her gumption, the weight she has fought and hollered -- way she has fought and hollered for everybody in this alley. i

>> chuck, thanks for having me on. we have said all along we have the president's back on his build back better agenda. we wanted to get those big ideas like child care, universal child care and expansion of medicare and paid family leave and all those big ideas that are part of the build back better part, not just the infrastructure part and the only way you can ensure you get both, especially given a couple senators' comments is to have both bills go up at the same time. we look at what we're doing as trying to get the totality of the president's agenda done, if you look at just the infrastructure bill, that's about 9% of what joe biden originally wanted. if we get out of here with just 9% of what joe biden wanted, we're not going to be able to deliver to people things like child care. the one thing i might disagree, i heard you say, you know, things polled individually but what about in the real world. in the real world people have kids that need child care. in the real world people will get that tax cut for their k

chuck? >> right. because what it costs, if it is going to be net zero, that has to do with a lot of taxes which i also think is a kyrsten sinema line that she doesn't want to cross too much. leeann, i'm curious. i find this to be shocking but i'm curious if you can confirm this. so, you have, when you're looking at the bipartisan infrastructure bill tomorrow, you have, what i understand, two whip operations whipping against the bill. the republicans are whipping against it and progressives are whipping against it. but here's what i can't believe i've heard. the white house is not whipping for it. are they about to let this go, their conceiting defeat to the progressives here? >> i don't know if anything has changed but clyborn said that he hadn't started whipping yet and i asked him when that was going to happen and he said i'll know the moment and it's not the right moment just yet. so, i'm not sure what the thinking is behind that and the frustration with president biden is pretty incredible up here

>> well, chuck, thank you. you know, i believe that accepting responsibility is the first principle of leadership and i had bosses that did that and expected that. i was a general and everything from kandahar, helman and, you know, i completely bought in to the idea that afghan security forces that they could be effective and then eventually afghanistan would be able to stand on its own. the problem was that the model was built on a western model. the idea that we could make an army that looked like us or the brits or the germans or something like that and, of course, the western model is based on having overwhelming fire power and exquisite intelligence. when that's removed, then they're not going to be effective. the best afghan unit i saw actually looked a whole lot like taliban and they had a u.s. army lieutenant colonel green beret who was guiding them and with them and connecting them. so, i didn't believe what i was seeing with my own eyes that that was the way to go. i was very optimistic when i left af

>> reporter: precisely, chuck. the president framing this as a climate crisis coast to coast, talking about devastation out west, and of course where ida first hit in the gulf coast. as it traveled to the northeast, causing catastrophic flooding we were seeing there with yasmin's reporting. the president making the point it is not political. he says when it comes to major weather events, storms don't care whether you're a democrat or republican, whether you live in a rural or urban area. he said earlier this hour talking about this, the impact all over the country. but he took the opportunity to make it a little political in terms of pushing his domestic agenda. he made the case for infrastructure. saying when congress comes back, he would like them to vote on this quickly because people are seeing the need for themselves. he did talk about that. he has been talking about how the federal government is equipped to deal with things like this and respond with fema on the ground in louisiana and mississippi but also th

i'm chuck todd.expect an update on capitol police ahead of tomorrow's justice for j6 rally which is held on half of the people tied in connection with the insurrection on the january 6th attack on the capitol. they expect 700 people to show up. not a big number but authorities given what happened on january 6th, are not taking any chances. so the fencing is back up around the capitol. former president trump put out a statement in support of the rally's cause even though he has told supporters the rally, itself, could be some kind of setup. whatever he thinks that means. tomorrow's rally comes amid even more evidence of donald trump's power over this form of the republican party. a new survey from pri shows just how successful the former president has been at rewriting the january 6th narrative specifically. nearly 4 in 10 americans, most just republicans, say it was left wing activists that bear a lot of responsibility what we know was a right wing insurrection and another reminder of trump's power o

so the question is what if anything does move them, chuck. is a lot of games that are played in congress but the idea of letting the united states default tends not to be something that most legislators want to do. back in 2011 there was a standoff where the united states got close to the brink. mitch mcconnell had the same position then, the minority leader he said republicans learned at the time that the debt limit was a hostage you ransom but not a hostage that you shoot. those are his words i'm quoting him directly and he still believes that. you have to think that republicans are not going to let this happen or they're going to find some way to do it. plan c, d and e could be extraordinary measures like minting a trillion dollar coin or invoking a constitutional option for the federal government to say this is not constitutional under the test. >> but, sahil, when was the last time we had this debt ceiling standoff where one party technically had all the levers of the house, the senate and the presidency? >> reporter: it's hard to think

chuck schumer knew about it for a couple of months.s leaning on the far left of his caucus to believe they're going to go for broke in the $3.5 trillion bill. i'm wondering if chuck schumer is hearing some footsteps from aoc in the new york primary next year. >> brian: really quick, 168 of the 2,000 page bill, we're looking for fines $70,000 to dlb 700,000. that will destroy so many small businesses. the irs goes on steroids. you think they're going after amazon, you're dreaming? they're going after small business. final thought? >> yeah, all of the efforts for bureaucracy, whether it's the coded police force or giving irs tens of millions of dollars to come after small businesses to put more power in the hands of bureaucrats in washington. >> brian: who knows if it will pass. senator tom cotton, thank you so much. that was not tom cotton on the phone with nancy pelosi. we have news. my little pony joined antifa. but first, joe biden's secretary has a simple answer to parents upset by their kids being taught critical race theory? suck

chuck schumer can do his job. i have voted -- >> neil: so nothing was linked senator -- i understand. but to be clear, nothing was linkand if it's a stand-alone measure that you would be okay with? >> in terms of raising the debt creel something. >> yes. >> no. in terms of funding the government? yes. if you want to continue to fund the government and avoid a shut down, which chuck schumer can do without a single republican vote, i'd be happy to have that discussion. have to look at every one of these compromises the in past. there were several bitter pills i had to swallow to vote for increasing the debt ceiling. chuck schumer last a take it or leave it attitude and he has to take responsibility for it. >> neil: all right. they say it's a take it or leave it altitude with republicans. one way or the other, maybe we'll see this sorted out. senator tom tillis, thank you. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: you might have noticed the big numbers on the green in the corner of the screen. the dow storming back today. had not

what is it for you, chuck?s listening to the prior discussion about it not just being semiconductors although that is a big issue. it is power supplies, substrates, memory, and then you have transport constraints at ports around the world, so our current view is that it will not begin to get better until at least into the middle part of next year and it is still very fluid. we don't have a high degree of confidence on that yet but we do have our supply chain team, number one in the world across all industries paid what i do know is that our team is working hard and at the same time, we are focused on all the positive aspects of what our customers are dealing with relative to the return to office, hybrid work, 5g, all the positive tailwinds that we feel. >> they all talk about these issues fading over time. transitory is the word of the moment. do you sense a bit more permanency? you talk about supply chain, logistics, all of that. do you sense some permanency to some of this cost pressure pressure marked chuck:

chuck todd or chuck tud, as i like to call him. chuck?he's got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands. all of these problems in some ways showed up after he said something basically the exact opposite. got a lot of work to do. the u.n. speech, look, he's got credibility issues on the world stage to make sure people still view america as -- not just a stable democracy, but a competent leader of the free world right now. >> wow. when you lose chalk tudd, you are in trouble. that's like your wife testifying against you in court. that's like turning on his family, chalk tudd. >> i see a possible character -- >> chalk tudd is the greatest name i have ever come up with. >> the chaos of biden is what he campaigned against. he was supposed to be the steady hand on the wheel. he was going to be boring, especially on foreign policy. remember he gave a speech on february 4th, america is back? now we have an absolute mess in afghanistan. the border. and our oldest ally france is calling us names. things are not going well. pweflt thing, it was

it feels, chuck, like we're in a political groundhog day. we just experienced the pandemic.e're still in it. 700,000 americans are dead. the pandemic revealed -- it was like a blue dye into the social and political body of the united states. it revealed all sorts of troubles across every aspect of our society, and our response bears a striking resemblance to the very logic that informed how we've governed for the last 40 years. i understand this is a political show. we have to talk about the politics of it all. >> we're stuck. >> but, damn, you know? i mean, it seems to me we're talking about a figure, a number, 3.5. >> right. >> america's in trouble. what are politicians doing, but haggling over -- it seems the elements of an ideology that have revealed itself to be bankrupt. >> senator sinema, i have reporting that says out of this big reconciliation bill, the thing that is most important to her is climate change, and why that -- so if things get scaled back, she wants climate change proposals to be included. that gets back to the zen diagram because that's just what senat

that's part of the question, chuck. there are some members who would rather scale down the bucket, the issues included in this bill, but keep the time frame of how long things are. they don't want some of these things that are underfunded and then they create cliff after cliff in congress. that's a big position among new democrats and the house of representatives like the kind of moderate group of democrats. and then others are saying that perhaps the easiest way is just to shorten the time frame from ten years to five years. that will cut the price tag in half. so that's another part of this negotiation as well. very few people are publicly saying this but a lot of people are privately saying this, that $3.5 trillion is not going to be the price tag. that it is going to have to come down. the progressives already think that $3.5 trillion is already a compromise. so this is extremely complicated. this is like the messiest part of this sausage making. if i can just say one thing we have a little breaking news here, which

senator majority leader chuck shimmer call -- chuck shimmer called for action >> when you get two record rain females in a week it's not just coincidence that's why it's so imperative to pass the two bills, the infrastructure bill and the budget reconciliation bill yamiche: you hear chuck schumer saying that this is a national security issue. i want to bring you back in. what you do hear from your sources about the issue of climate change and the threat that it could have to our national security and to america? >> when secretary austin came in, he said that was going to be one of his priorities to focus on the impact of climate change people may say oh, come on, that's not a real concern on a practical level, you have bases that are based right along the coast and they have their beaches are eroding you have rising temperatures that makes it more dangerous for men and women to train in the warm temperatures. so there are very real implications on a day-to-day basis of climate change and as chuck was saying there, the science behind it is the more that the temperature is warming the more

hi, chuck, as always thanks for joining us this morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> i want to start if i can with texas' new abortion law. late friday a judge near austin granted a restraining order that would temporarily prevent lawsuits to groups like planned parenthood, only temporary. that adds some confusion to this country's most restrictive new law. what are your guests, guests from both sides of the aisle -- weighing in on this, saying about the political implications? >> well, look, i mean that seems to be almost agreement both left and right that it's republicans that have more to fear politically than democrats. it appears to have energized democrats on this issue at a time when you have the president's poll ratings dropping a bit here, at a time where a lot of democratic candidates are not doing so hot. look at how quickly gavin newsom grabbed the issue for his recall. on this coast a virginia governor's race and the republican candidate was like can't we talk about other issues. you're seeing politically, you know, an

>> well, joshua, as chuck told him, he is in the driver's seat. he is the most powerful senator right now. that's one of the reasons, by the way, that he is not motivated to work on filibuster reform, because if the filibuster reform goes away, that really does somewhat diminish the power of joe manchin and other centrists, but i think what you're going to see is joe manchin demand a number closer to $1.5 trillion or $2 trillion, and democrats in the senate are going to have to decide if that's enough, if they're willing to take that or if they want to hold out and keep applying pressure. of course, the later it gets into the cycle, the more difficult it is to get done, especially if swing state senators start to get worried and representatives about their races. so this is a race against the clock. joe manchin is in control. i think he's going to come in somewhere between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. >> and elena, my assessment is not fair. i don't think he was vague in everything. he was specific on some things including the climate change asp

we just finished a seven-week recess, and speaker pelosi and chuck schumer and senate leader are trying to ram through seven years worth of spending, a $1.2 trillion fake infrastructure bill, and a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. i won't bore you with the specifics but right now today as we speak we have $28.8 trillion national debt trillion dollars national debt. think about that. we can't afford either one of these spending bills. even if we could they are not worth buying. so on tuesday i i urged repubn leadership to start going against the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan fake infrastructure bill. i'm happy report on wednesday whip scalise announced at our republican study committee meeting they would be officially whipping against the bill. which is a formal republican position in the house of representatives against this phone infrastructure bill. these bills, both of these bills the reconciliation bill, the infrastructure bill, are a package. one can't exist without the other. we have given house democrats a tight window and they can't afford to lose more than a couple of me

we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press," and he'll have dr. anthony fauci on over the cannot fusion of the covid booster shots, and we'll look at president biden's approval rating. a lot to cover today. we hope you will stick here and tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. after this newscast. >>> when your money is stuck in somebody else's hands, our team can help to rescue that cash. chris chmura is here with a look at the money we have helped people get back. >> in 2021 we have heard from 1,548, just like mary, who we will talk about in a second. so far this year we have recovered $1.26 million. we kicked off our response team in the middle of 2016, and we have heard from a lot of folks and recovered more than $5.7 million. here's how we get there. one case at a time. like mary in menlo park. she told us she got her vaccinated for covid-19 but not the $50 incentive the state offered for a while way back when. our team contacted the state department and mary got her 50 bucks. the state said it was a procedural error that impacted a few fol

chuck schumer's gonna have his. votes nancy pelosi will ever votes. she is skilled as anyone we have ever seen a sin in that country in the country says. so there's a lot of choreography going, on a lot of discussions. but i'm gonna go with, jonathan and the price tag, whether it's three point, five or, three what's important is what's in. it i hope this isn't, true but this could be a once in a decade opportunity. once the next time the democratic parties gonna have the ability to get this many people with the power they have? but have to get in people's homes, talking about the child, credit you have to be meeting with health care, workers have to be talking about people who can't work more hours because of childcare assistance, we want to talk about broadband and climate. let's not think -- forget the thing that is most popular, how you're paying for it! which is asking the wealthiest in this country, and companies, to pay their fair share. so the politics of this should take care of themselves. if you really spend the next 14 months really, really

knowing that all republicans were going to vote against the bill and kill it, chuck schumer brought it to a vote so that he could make a speech telling the country just how irresponsible senate republicans are >> what the republicans in the senate did tonight is not normal this isn't your typical washington frack car, and it shouldn't be treated as such it has far more severe consequences than the typical political cat fight. republicans know the consequences of their obstruction. they know its default would likely create a recession. they know that middle class families will suffer immensely they've heard the same warnings that we have and by many calculations, the republicans at fault will raise the deficit by more than the american rescue plan and yet republicans still obstruct it tonight. >> chuck schumer is surely hoping senator joe manchin is watching how unreasonable and reckless the republicans are as senator manchin continues to resist changes in these senate rules to change the 60-vote threshold, the rule that empowers republican irresponsibility and empowers republican attac

the group with me led by chuck schumer and your congress woman -- is this your district? i want to thank her personally for her gumption the way she's fought and hollered and fought so hard for all the people in this alley. i mean it. thank you, thank you. that goes for everybody here. look, folks, i want to thank governor for -- and leader schumer and kristin -- senator gillibrand and congresswoman ming, malone and mayor de blasio for being here. it's not -- how can i say this? sometimes some very bad things happen that have a tendency to bring out the best in people in our country. i think what people are seeing across this country from the wild fires in california and the far rest, which i'm heading to in a couple days, all the way to down in louisiana in the gulf where i was a couple days ago to new jersey and pennsylvania, the lesser extent delaware and new york, people are beginning to realize this is much, much bigger than anybody was willing to believe. the whole sellment of our population denying this thing called climate change. i mean it. sometimes my mother us

i'm counting on the leadership of chuck schumer in the senate as well as our president to do what we can to ensure that that's happening. at the same time we are also working on a continuing resolution to not shut down the government. the fact that mitch mcconnell is not willing to come to the table shows that he is only motivated by power and stopping the wheels of government to ensure that his party is seen as not supporting the democrats. when we have continually said that we want to sit at the table with whoever wants to support the american people. -- to pay the debt that the republicans racked up in the last four years when they were in power. host: how confident are you that the revenue raising measures, the increases in tax proposed will help pay for this plan? >> we have looked at independent studies. i think it's noteworthy that there's an open letter from more than 100 economists that urges us that this is a good plan. nobel prize economists have said this is a good plan. we believe this is a leveling, and equitable measure on those who are the richest in america. you have
